We just got our first ducklings. On top of being babies, they're call ducks (miniature ducks). It's honestly overwhelming how adorable they are.

Dog Becomes Foster Dad to Orphaned Baby Ducks

This is Fred, a sweet Lab who gained media attention in 2018 when he helped care for a brood of orphaned ducklings. He protected the little birds, let them snuggle beside him to stay warm, and even guided them on their first swims in the pond at Mountfitchet Castle, England. Fred went on to help another group of ducklings in 2019, and a third in 2022.

In 2011, a farm cat named Della gained fame after “adopting” three newly hatched orphaned ducklings. The gentle cat brought the wee waddlers into her nest, letting them cuddle beside her and her kittens. She even attempted to nurse them.

Despite the unconventional family, the birds were successfully raised alongside the kittens and remained strongly attached to their feline mother as they grew.
